Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

不是你的

It's not yours.

誰叫你 看到這麼重

Who told you to take it so seriously?

你不服氣嗎 也沒用處 爭不到愛寵

You're not happy? It's no use, you can't win their love.

最尾 如何和舊傷擁抱過活 你終於都要懂

In the end, you'll have to learn how to live with old wounds.

現在你會很痛

Right now, you're hurting.

然而捱若干天 鬱結就通

But after a few days, you'll feel better.

別抱膝 含淚訴苦 天對你不公

Don't sit there hugging your knees, complaining that the world is unfair.

臨完場捱一刀

Take a hit at the end.

如何才能不倒

How can you not fall?

背熟這 八字訣

Memorize these eight words.

記住挺直腰骨企好

Remember to stand up straight.

遺憾既然 已成定數

Since regret is a done deal.

終生跌下去 難道更加好

Is falling forever really better?

求同情 求安撫

Seeking sympathy, seeking comfort.

是最差勁套路

That's the worst approach.

不自救 餘年不保

If you don't save yourself, you won't protect your future.

你若聰明 該早點找到出口 縱有仇別報

If you're smart, find a way out sooner, even if you have enemies, let it go.

人是脊椎生物 何懼獨舞

Humans are vertebrates, why fear dancing alone?

我 從前曾誤解 裝作軟弱

I used to misunderstand, pretending to be weak.

對方不忍殺生

So the other person wouldn't have the heart to hurt me.

但是我見識過 明明曾熱戀的 可這樣狠

But I've seen how, even after loving so deeply, they can be so cruel.

在這種時代也許 不再有惻隱

In this day and age, perhaps there is no more pity.

臨完場捱一刀

Take a hit at the end.

如何才能不倒

How can you not fall?

背熟這 八字訣

Memorize these eight words.

記住挺直腰骨企好

Remember to stand up straight.

遺憾既然 已成定數

Since regret is a done deal.

終生跌下去 難道更加好

Is falling forever really better?

求同情 求安撫

Seeking sympathy, seeking comfort.

是最差勁套路

不自救 餘年不保

If you don't save yourself, you won't protect your future.

你若聰明 該早點找到出口 縱有仇別報

If you're smart, find a way out sooner, even if you have enemies, let it go.

人是脊椎生物 何懼獨舞

Humans are vertebrates, why fear dancing alone?

不應等他對你好

Don't wait for him to treat you well.

畢竟一轉眼就老

After all, you'll get old in the blink of an eye.

用撐起穹蒼之氣

Use the strength to hold up the sky.

站得比他眼界高

Stand taller than his vision.

彌留之軀

If you're dying.

回頭請早

Turn back sooner.

昂然再立正

Stand up straight again.

挺直腰骨企好

Remember to stand up straight.

誰沒了誰 也能起舞

Anyone can dance alone.

他的福氣薄 無礙你安好

It's his bad luck, it doesn't affect your well-being.

拿前程來打賭

Let's bet on our future.

若各走各路途

If we go our separate ways.

等著看 誰捱不到

Let's wait and see who can't make it.

見字企好

Stand up straight when you see this.

首先將 拐杖拋開 那個人是你

First, throw away the crutches, that person is you.

忙著過好生活 何用上訴

Be busy living a good life, why appeal?
